This rule is set out in the General Local By-laws. If you fail to comply with this, you may be fined. Exceptions are the dog walking areas (HUPs) that have been specifically designated for this purpose. In HUPs, you may let your dog run and play freely, provided it does not disturb others.\u00a0It is forbidden to bring a dog into a children\u2019s play area.<\/p>\n<h3>Duty to clear up<\/h3>\n<p>When you are out in a public place in Apeldoorn with a dog, you are obliged to clear up the dog\u2019s faeces immediately. Dogs may relieve themselves in the designated dog walking areas. You do not need to clear up after them there. The obligation to clear up does not apply to anyone who, due to a disability, is accompanied by a guide dog or a service dog.<\/p>\n<h3>Cleaning agent required<\/h3>\n<p>Within the built-up areas of Apeldoorn, you are also required to carry a litter-picking tool, such as a small spade or a bag. If an inspector asks to see it, you must show them this tool. If you do not have a litter-picking tool with you, you will be fined.<\/p>\n<h3>Fines<\/h3>\n<p>If you break the rules, you risk the following fines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u20ac110 for a dog running loose in a built-up area<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac170 for a dog running loose in a children\u2019s playground, on a play field or in a sandpit<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac170 for failing to clear up dog faeces immediately in a public place (outside a designated dog walking area)<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac110 for not carrying a clean-up kit (poo bags or a poo scoop) with you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An administration fee of \u20ac9 will be added to this.<\/p>\n<h3>Barking and biting incidents<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/ref-meldingen\">Report incidents of barking and biting online<\/a> or by telephone on 14 055.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t  <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t  <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-u1-i4\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-u1-i4\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-u1-i4\">\n\t\t\t\t  <span class=\"accordion-toggle\"><\/span>Dog licence fee\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t  <\/h2>\n\t\t\t  <div id=\"collapse-u1-i4\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-u1-i4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n\t\t\t\t  <p>If you have one or more dogs in Apeldoorn, you will have to pay dog licence fees, regardless of your dog\u2019s size, and even if your dog spends little or no time outdoors.
